eventually. The examination of the
accounts of other disbursing officers
was a wise precaution, although taken
pretty late, considering the eager
anxiety shown three years ago by Mr..
Hendricks and his friends to "open the
books" Thus far the only discrepancy
discovered was in the case OF dis
bursting clerk, who is Democratic APP
pointee of the present administration,
and whose cash was found short some
$50. The examiners, however, are
strongly of the opinion that the dis
crepancy was due to q clerical error,
and pointed to the fact that the clerk
has disbursed some 800, 600 in the past
two years. The accounts of the dis
bursting clerks of the Interior Depart
ment, who have d;sbursed about
81, 600, 900 per annum for many years
past, were found correct to penny.
1t may be remembered that the count

apparent deficiency of two cents, but
that the money was afterward found in

the recent count was completed on the
transfer from Mr.. Jordan to Mr.. Hyatt
a shortage of 81 so was discovered, and
a clerk was required to make up the
deficiency. This, of course, was in adj
dition to the amount which he had been
assessed as his share of the cost of that

I'm eriCan Wares.

1t may be noted that the Americans
are trying to show us in this year of
grace what they can produce in inven-
ton and manufactures by holding an
exhibition of purely American mechan-
ism and manufactures in London, which
is likely to be the jubilee exhibition
for London at any rate. 1t should be
known that this exhibition is neither
instituted nor supported by the Amer
lean Government, but is purely pri-
vate though gigantic speculation got
up by some of the most eminent men
and manufacturers in the United
States; and the mere fact that
such an exhibition, solely composed
of our great competitors wares.
should take place in the capital of the
commercial world and in the heart of
our empire shows the pluck of the
Americans and their determination to
cut us ultimately out of the running
even in our own country if they posi-
bly, can.
When was ever such an exhibition
held, in n foreign country without gov
eminent assistance, by any other nation
in the whole annals of the world? Con-
sidering the great advance the people
of the United Kingdom have made
during the past fifty years, in spite of
the heavy weights hung on them by
fuse and won't" and all other remnants
of feudal traditions, it surely stands to
reason that, under more favorable cir
cumstances, the advance will be pro-
portionately greater.
How comes it that the essentially
British" Americans are so go-ahead
and inventive, if not because they are
enlightened and progressive-running
lightly, as it were, in the race? Why,
again, are the mass of the people in the
old country (of the same race as the
Americans so comparatively slow, and
to all appearance so non-inventive-if
not because they are unenlightened
and ethargic-running heavily laden
in the race, looking back to the past
rather than forward to the future? In
the language of high authority, "the
old nations of the earth creep on at
snail's pace, while the American Re-
public thunders past with the rush OF
the express" Why should this be?
Who is to blame for the existing state
of matters? In q free, constitutionally
governed country like the United
Kingdom is it not time that the mass
of the people were waking up and in
sisting on their representatives and
statesmen reading the signs of the
times, and seeing that the disadvan-
tages under which they labor as a ma
ton are removed and that the whole
country is really governed by the peo-
pie and for the good of the people in
every sense Nineteenth Church.

SectiOnnliSm.

1t is the belief of many Of the lead
ing politicians of both the Democratic
and Republican party that in the cam
paign of 1SSS personal issues, such as
governed that of 1854, VIII be entirely
lost sight of, and that national ques-
tions will come before the people to be
fought out at the polls. Though the
old issue of slavery is dead beyond any
resuscitation, there are others coming
up that p2rtake of sectional character,
and Col. Watterson is no doubt right
when he SAYS that the Southern issue
will be prominent one next year.
Just what phase he expects it to take is
not stated, but there is no doubt about
the existence of strong feeling in the
South that makes this probable
1t is an absurdity to talk about the
North waving the bloody shirt, thus
reviving old animosities. From begin
ming to end L is the South which has
lost sight of the national idea so promi-
nent in Northern thought, for which
the North fought, and which it is
resolved to maintain. 1t is the
South that is constantly pratt
ing of Southern rights as individual
lied from those of any other section.
1t is the South which talks of Southern
people as of race dist net from the
rest of the Union. 1t is the South
which complains Of oppression just as
it used in the old days of slavery. 1t
is the South which does not recognize
the fact that what is national law in
Ohio with regard TO elections is law in
every other State of the Union includ-
ing South Carolina, that everywhere
naturalized citizens are entitled to vote,
and that the negro comes into that
category. 1t is the South which, trust
ing to the syinpathizing of Demo-
cratic President with Southern pro-
clivises, is raising questions that may
inject Southern issue into the next
years campaign. 1t certainly will not
be the Republican party, nor the
North. Sectionalsm has no part in
Republican principles, but the right of
every citizen to free vote is funda-
mental doctrine, and will be maintained
to the end.-Toledo Blade.

A Love story in Score or SO of Lines.

From the German is taken the
beautiful story of the ivy's origin. A
Rhine maiden, somewhat of a coquette,
promised to give her hand to noble
young man, "but not yet she said,
"give me freedom a little longer"
Weeks passed, and the youth becom-
ing jealous of her smiles, urged her to
name the day when she would make
him forever happy; but with merry
laugh and twinkling eye she babe
him wait" Repeatedly he came to
her. At last he said: IF st IL thou
tellest me to wa t it will be forever"
Thinking he only told her this to
brighten her, with toss of her pretty
head, she replied: Then wait for
ever, kind SIR" With one long, sad
gaze on her sweet face he left her. He
went to the holy war, and she pinned
and died. One day strange p ant
sprang up on her grave. 1t put forth
its tender leaves and long, slender
fingers, ever moving onward. 1t covered
the grave, then moved on over the
ground. The superstitious villagers
watched it with wonder, and they

The narrow margin by which the
Democrats carry the State of Kentucky
this year, considered in connection
with the sweeping and unanticipated
success of the Republicans III Virginia
last year, should certainly afford en-
enlargement to Southern Republicans.
The Democratic papers are advancing
q good many ingenious excuses to ac-
count for the shaking up which their
party has received in the old Bourbon
State, and for the startling diminution
in their majority. But it cannot be
truthfully said that the Democrats
failed to come out because of over
confidence in party success. The cam
paign was not calculated to lull them
into inactivity; 1t was, on the contrary.
a campaign of extraordinary vigor, and
the appeals which reached them from
their party papers and orators were
vehement and urgent. The Repub-
icans were fortunate in their leader,
but their campaign was conducted up
on Republican principles which are as
we'll calculated to make Roadway In
any Southern State as in Kentucky;
and its succession to reduce the Dem
ocratic majority almost to the vanish
ing point may Justly be reckoned as
success-might well be repeated in any
of half dozen Southern States. The
abuses of long-continued Bourbon rule
may, indeed, be more apparent in Ken
lucky than III some other portions of
the South, but they are obvious enough
almost anywhere to make some of the
more intelligent and progressive Dem
ocrats ready for change. In Kentucky,
too, as elsewhere in the South, there
aSe Democrats who feel themselves
misrepresented by that truculent free
trader, Watterson.
What is needed in the South among
Republicans is firmer organization
and new access of vigor There has
been reason enough for the discourage
ment under which they have labored
in the past, but times have changed
and there is more hope in the outlook
for the future. The growth of proteo-
ton sentiment in the South represents
a new element of strength for the Re-
publican party, and discomfort with
loca' misgovernment is another factor.
Before the national struggle begins we
hope to see indications of fresh Oour-
Qge and activity among Southern Re-
neblicans, and we expect that the Ma
tional Republican Committee will take
the South into its programme. not as
necessarily solid for the Democracy,
but some OF it at least a fighting
ground, and will help the cause there
by campaign literature and campaign
orators. -Boston Journal.

and 1888. The German tragedy queen
has recently celebrated by a jubilee
performance the twenty-tifth anniversa-
ry of her engagement at the Royal Burg
Theater. The Emperor, Crown Prince,
and other high dignitaries were present,
and the house was literally packed. The
play was "Sappho, with Madame VOL
ter in the title role She was received
with an encore of enthusiasm and was
overwhelmed with flowers. The En-
peror presented to her a diamond
bracelet, and other gifts came from all
parsSof Austria and Germany. At the
close 81 the play Madame Wolter made
a touching speech of thanks to the EN-
peror and to the audience at large.
She was presented to the Austrian En-
press by her rightful title as the Count
ess O'Sullivan. But the Empress in turn
presented her to the Court as Madame
Wolter, saying, Il am proud of you as
'the Wolter, as that is the name | like to
present you. have so many Countesses
at Court that your other title conveys
no distinction" Madame Wolter
was born in the city of Cologne in 1884,
of poor but respectable parents, and
had to overcome many difficulties, and
battle through innumerable hard times
before obtaining the recognition her
talent deserved. She now occupies the
undisputed place of the first among
German tragic actresses, and only her
objection to play in foreign countries
has prevented her name from becoming
one of worldwide fame. In 1875 she
married Count Charles O'Sullivan, but
family considerations obliged her to
keep the marriage secret for many
years. Not only Vienna, but ali Aus
tria, may be said to be at her feet, and
although she is over 80 years of age,
she is still young-looking and attract

Only Half the Reason.

The Louisville COurieT-Joatr1adl is
having a hard time to account for the
Waterloo that overlook the Democratic
party at the late election in that State.
1t ventures this sort of q reason
"As far as we can Judge the Demo
cratic losses are due to confidence and
Indifference in our party and unusually
good organization on the part of the
Republicans. The Republicans voted
and the Democrats stayed at home"
1t is probably true that the "indiffer
ence" of Democrats was in a measure
responsible for the washout in the old
time Democratic majority. But to
charge the result up to Democratic in
difference is to give but half the reason.
Will the CO1trier'-JOuTnGt please tell
what was responsible for the indifer-
ence? Surely it was not due to lack of
warning, for Democratic papers for
weeks before the election were filled
with frantic appeals to the faithful to
save the State from the Republicans.
The COlrier-JO1@nGl itself, the mouth
piece and leading State paper of the
party, reached a dangerous degree of
temperature for hot weather in its ex-
cited and hysterical onslaught upon the
opposition. If the Democrats of Ken
lucky were indifferent" it was not the
indifference of ignorance of what was
going on in the State. But if they
took no interest in again voting the old
Bourbon ticket, it was because they
were so Disguised with the policy of
the Democratic party that they did not
care enough for it to go to the polls to
save it from defeat. The benighted,
unpatrotic and unprogressive course
pursued by the Democrat C party in
Kentucky and in the nation is the rea-
son for the indifference" upon which
the burden of disaster is laid. But in
territorial indifference is not alone re-
sponsible for the surprising results at
the polls. When the returns show an
increase in the Republican vote of 25,-
600 since 1888, it is a pretty good sign
that Disguised Democrats did some
thing else than stay away from the
polls. A good many of them have be-
gun to vote the Republican ticket, and
they voted it this year as a protest
against the free-trade Bourbonism of
their old party associates. That is an
other reason for the Democratic dis
aster which rle Courier-JOtTndl can
probably see, if it does not care to
acknowledge MoineS Register.

Growth or Good Habits.

Good habits grow upon the constant
doer of good actions with perhaps more
lusty readiness than bad ones, for the
reason that they are backed by an APP
proving conscience. Wrong must be
cultivated until the conscience is sub
dued, while virtue is said to be its own
reward. So frugality, politeness, hon.
esty, charity, and cleanliness become
imbedded in our Bature by long Gus
tom, "for," as Shakespeare has pro-
foundly observed, "use can almost
change the stamp of nature. "-Phila-

Good rugs are quite as costly as good

In less than two hours it will be covered

Take our word for it, rugs on bare
floors are nuisances. In carpets, there
